Three powerful films available on ALL FLAMENCO invite us to rediscover the art and myth of Carmen Amaya, the iconic dancer who forever changed flamenco. Documentary and fiction meet to portray “La Capitana” from different angles.
To speak of Carmen Amaya is to evoke one of the most electrifying and influential figures in flamenco history. With her groundbreaking style, fierce stage presence, and legendary life, she became a symbol of strength, passion, and innovation.
ALL FLAMENCO honors her legacy with three essential titles in its catalog, offering unique perspectives on the life and legend of this Barcelona-born flamenco queen.
“Carmen Amaya. La Capitana”
This in-depth documentary explores Carmen Amaya’s life, from her childhood in the Somorrostro neighborhood to the world’s most prestigious stages. Through archival footage and expert testimony, “La Capitana” portrays the impact of her legacy and her role in redefining flamenco.
“Carmen Amaya was a storm on stage, and this film lets us feel that energy with every scene.”
“Carmen Amaya. Granizo en los Cristales”
A poetic and experimental take on Carmen Amaya’s presence and influence, this film offers an audiovisual journey through metaphor, sound, and imagery. It is not a biography, but an emotional tribute to her essence and spirit.
“It doesn’t try to explain Carmen Amaya — it brings her presence back to life.”
“El último baile de Carmen Amaya” (The Last Dance of Carmen Amaya)
This fictional film follows Carmen during her final days in Begur, where she spent her last moments far from the stage. With a tender and moving approach, it captures the contrast between her failing health and her enduring passion for dance.
“A touching portrait of a woman who lived and breathed art until the end.”
